PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Dec. 19, 2006 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Patient Portal Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets:PPRG) announced today the company has signed an agreement with Crouse Hospital in Syracuse, NY to provide multiple, private-branded solutions improving operational efficiencies and patient satisfaction. Patient Portal Technologies, Inc. (PPT) worked extensively with Crouse Hospital to develop the first-of-its-kind integrated technology, which enables the hospital to deliver progressive patient services.
PPT's solutions enable Crouse Hospital to enhance patient satisfaction with improved communication, information, and education solutions that join together the hospital, community, and physicians, such as a distinctive interactive application specific to diabetic patient management that includes multi-level scheduling, patient history, and data archiving.
The uniqueness of Patient Portal's sophisticated technology platform is its capability to expand into varied and multiple services -- such as registrations, fulfillment, scheduling, and patient tracking -- while retaining a single point of client access through Patient Portal, resulting in superior customer service and cost-effective process efficiency. Through PPT's proprietary systems, patients can receive condition-specific information, schedule appointments, or have access to libraries of medical information. By enhancing the patient experience and creating a more informed consumer, PPT's platform contributes to more efficient patient flow and satisfaction, which results in significant economic gain for the hospital.
Crouse Hospital's move to integrate progressive technologies represents the future in which all healthcare institutions should operate. Patient Portal's platform integrates multiple technologies that provide real-time information to patients, physicians, and hospital staff across Internet, print, voice, and data media. For example, through a single text message, a patient can learn that a doctor is running late for an appointment, respond to that message, reschedule if desired, forward the message to others, and follow a link to a condition-specific educational video prior to the appointment.
PPT is a leading provider of creative technology solutions and process improvements for healthcare institutions. The company's products and services utilize a state-of-the-art proprietary software platform that optimizes patient flow, reduces administrative costs, and maximizes reimbursement.
